"[gives a drunken speech to the party in honor of his Knight's Cross] A toast to our wonderful, abstaining, womanless Führer. Who rose gloriously from apprentice painter to become the world's greatest battle strategist. What, isn't it true? He's the great naval expert who took it upon himself, in his wisdom...how does it go again...Who's been showing that English bedwetter, that cigar-chomping asshole Churchill, where to go stick his cigars!"

"[escaping from the British] They haven't spotted us! They're all snoring in their bunks! Or you know what? They're drinking in the bar! Celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!"

"Okay, men, now listen. We're going to blow out the water now and see if we can get our rear ends out of the sand. If we make it to the surface, things could still get pretty rough. Traffic's heavy up there. And we have to pray the engines start, so we can get out of this mess. The condition the boat is in, we have got to head straight for La Rochelle. If we make it... it's half a bottle of beer for each! There is one thing on our side; they won't be expecting us. Well men, all set?"

"[After a successful torpedo attack, and the sounds of the sinking ships fade away] Now it's their turn."

"[during the storm] The sea cannot claim us, Henrich. No ship is as seaworthy as ours."

"[to Werner, while they stand on the bridge, sailing through rough seas] There's nothing more beautiful than a submarine...and a sailboat! There are no better lines than those of a sailboat. I sailed on a three-masted schooner once. Gorgeous ship! It had holds the size of a cathedral! [he and Werner laugh]"

"[looking at a log of messages from other U-Boats] Our recent triumphs: "Dived to evade enemy aircraft; Lost contact." "Dived to evade destroyer; Depth charged." The British have stopped making mistakes."

"Our patrol planes! Where are they? Answer that one, Herr Göring! The British have plenty of them! Talking big is all he's good for, that fat slob."

"[referring to officers going to a 'cathouse' the night before shipping out] Scared fuckers. They need sex like the infantry needs alcohol."

"[After an alarm is sounded and an emergency dive is executed] April fool. Practice makes perfect."
